Question

Here’s a graph of a linear function. Write the equation that describes that function. Express it in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

y=4x-1

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form is written in y=mx+b

*m=slope

*b=y-intercept

From what I see,

the line hits the points (0,-1) and (1,3)

Slope is the rise (change in the y-coordinate) of the line divided by the run (change in the x-coordinate).

4÷1=4

Slope=4

y=4x+b now

The y-intercept is the value of y when the line meets the y-axis

It seems to meet at (0,-1)

So we end up with...

y=4x-1 as our equation
